clutch/flywheel
gear selector and cables
driveshafts
gearbox

I used lightened flywheel from stock Focus 2.0 Zetec:




but you can use an alloy one from CFM:

there are some clutch or clutch/flywheel sets too.

The only issue after swap is speedometer readings are 3,6 times lower that a real speed so be carefull

Some onboards from my car after swap (training sessions):

How is your conversion?

Please share some more info about your car and your setup for circuit, what suspension, brakes, tyres, aerodynamics mods etc do you use? Please show how you race in Australia!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Cheers,
Michal
Hi Michal, Sorry for the delay in responce, conversion was no problem, I used the Clutch masters alloy flywheel and tripple plate clutch,Quaife dog gear set conversion. I have the Bilstien coilover kit in my car, very happy with it, handles quite well. I have fitted cross drilled rotors and use the standard calipers with ECB yellow stuff pads, I have a willwood pedal box. We have a control tyre in our class which is Yokahama AO50 225/45/17, excellent tyre but expensive here. I will post some incar when I work it out, but here is some pictures.
